lldpd

- Link Layer Discovery Protocol daemon

Synopsis

/usr/lib/lldpd

svc:/network/lldp:default

Description

lldpd is a system daemon that implements the Link Layer Discovery Protocol
as specified in IEEE Std. 802.1AB. The daemon also manages LLDP agents on
physical datalinks. Please see lldpadm(1M) for more information on administering LLDP on LLDP agents.

The lldpd daemon is controlled through the service management facility (SMF) service
instance:

svc:/network/lldp:default

This means, svcadm(1M) must be used to start, stop, restart, and refresh
this daemon. This daemon is disabled by default. To enable LLDP on
any of the physical datalinks, this daemon should be running.

The lldpd daemon is a project private interface and has no user-accessible
options.
